Get Ready for Springtime With These Easy DIY Nude Ballet Shoes

Whether it’s because you’re trudging through a sidewalk full of pools or because your feet ache from a week of work, there are some days when wearing glitzy heels just isn’t an option. Fortunately for us, we always have a backup plan - ballet flats! Not only are they one of the comfiest styles, but they also have the ability to turn even the most understated outfit into a chic, kind of Parisian one. If you dreamed of becoming a ballerina, then scroll on for the tutorial below. This shoe hack is calling you!

Materials and Tools:

old flats

matching ribbon

scissors

hot glue gun + glue

Instructions:
1. Take your ribbon and cut 3 pieces: one that is 8 inches long, one that is 6 inches long, and the last one that is 4 inches long.
2. Take the first piece and wrap it around your hand to create a loop, then glue it in place.
3. Pinch the ribbon in the middle as shown below, and glue using the hot glue gun.
4. Repeat with the second piece and then once again to create a simple loop, as shown in the picture below.
5. Pile the loops and glue to create a perfect bow.
6. Finally glue the bow to the ballet shoe back and let completely dry. Then repeat with the other shoe.

First, take your ribbon and cut three pieces. The first one needs to be eight inches long, the second one six inches long, and the last one four inches long. Then take the longest piece and wrap it around your hand to create a loop and glue it in place. Pinch the ribbon in the middle, as shown above, and glue. Repeat the last step with the second piece of ribbon, and then once again to create a simple loop, as shown in the picture above. Next, pile the loops from the biggest to the smallest and glue to create a perfect bow. Last but not least, glue the bow to the ballet shoe back, let completely dry and repeat with the other shoe. Voilà, you’re done!

Pair them with your fave denim for a casual spring day, or wear them with a cute and girly outfit for Easter parties.

So. Cute.

Hey, friends! We have had LOTS of requests for this post, and I am really excited to share it with you today! Over the past few years, I've gone from a plant killer to a borderline-crazy plant LOVER. They really are my favorite thing about our home and what makes it feel like HOME to me. Now, some are easier to care for than others! And there's nothing worse than buying a special plant only to have it die on you when you are trying your best to care for it (I'm looking at you fiddle leaf fig trees!). So today I've rounded up five types of plants that are on the easier side to care for, that can live in mixed lighting and are pretty low maintenance. These are the ones that are thriving and growing like crazy in my home. Hope you enjoy!

1. Philodendron – I have a lot of these in our spaces. They can live in high light, but don't need it, and they do pretty well with my slight over-watering tendencies. They grow very large. The one above is newer, and the one below w…

I'd been thinking about putting up some shelving in the house for a few weeks so when I came across some hanging shelves I decided to make my own! I'm so delighted with how they turned out, it's surprisingly easy and not expensive either.. all in all my favourite type of weekend project!
